Like the many who went `in, we` re- turned saying "Aca nada (here is nothing). We returned by way of[ Barrie on the Ida Burton, glad to get back to civilization. After a sound night's sleep at Farragher s` Hotel, we started on our tramp to` Minesing (then known as"`Tomlin-I son's Swamp). From the top of `Dunn's Hill we looked over the vast; pine forest which stretched to the` horizon. It was a sight never. to be! `forgotten.

It appeared as if they had all. not large, but uniform in girth and height and consisted of mixed white and yellow pine. The ground below was evenly carpeted with the dead, needle-like leaves, which made a yellow and harmonius ground work, stretching as far as the sight could penetrate. We were deeply impress- -edby the solemnity of the place and were loth to pass on to where settle-, inent had begun and man with axe` and hand-spike and re had begun` the work of destruction to make way for more necessary things.

Barrie gladiolus enthusiasts who journey- ed over to Guelph last week to see the an- nual exhibition of the Canadian Gladiolus ` Society were more than delighted with what they saw. It would be hard to say how many specimens-but there were thousands. In addition to the exhibits. there were hun- dreds -in the large trial grounds where some of the choicest varieties sent by the leading American growers were to be seen_. The ` amateur department of the exhibition was much, the best. Where there was such a profusion of splendid bloom it would be { hard to specialize. One particularly fine ` 19 display was the Golden Measure, said to be the best yellow grown. The excelience of the Baron Hulots," deep violet, was remarked upon. The prize for the best single spike in the show went to a magni- ficent specimen of Crimson Beauty", grown by a Seaforth man; one of the in- dividual flowers was almost six inches a- cross. Specimens of many of the high- priced varieties were shown and the vis- itors had a good opportunity of judging of the value of these individually and in com- parison with others. Some of the cheaper varieties were seen to be quite as beauti- ful as those for which big prices are de- manded. The primulinus varieties were -a` strong feature. many exquisite shades be- ing seen in these; A magnificent massed display was seen in a huge collection of ` choice varieties, a dozen or more of each. . banked up at one endi"-of a hall. Nearly e\ ery visitor was busy with his note book j and there should be a lot of fine new glads _ in many gardens next year as the result.

The latter continent in particular has pro~ duced alarge number of useful species; over 80 are listed from that continent alone. One" of our latest acquisitions from Africa is Gladiolus primulinus. It was discovered right in the spray of the Zambesi Falls. This species has a hooded blossom and its crosses are very graceful and include many beautiful tints of color, all of which have armore or less yellow shade; f'lL_ IVI_.II_1.... ....._,._-..(,._.,.I,_ :L,_,,,]t L',__ 1.1,,` HTIIUXVU U1` l{75 UVCIIUW DlI' The Gladiolus recommends itself for the small garden owing to the fact that, al- "though it is one ofthe most handsome flow- ers we have, it is comparatively cheap. Many of the `best varieties of corms cost only a few, cems each. They are easy to grow a.nd..perfectly hardy in this climate. They are particularly valuable for cutting purposes as they keep a very long time `when placed in water. . AIH-unnn-la Clcurlinll luau-A lnnnn lznnwn nu pIl1UCU Ill Wllbtlo Although Gladioli have been known as` garden plants for over three centuries, they did not attract much attention until the visit of Her Majesty Queen Victoria to Font- ainnebleau. France, in 1855. On her return to England Her Majesty took this flower under her patronage and had them placed on the Royal table at meal times. This. fact soon made them fashionable. and ever since that date leading hybridists have been producing increasingly beautiful varieties `in large numbers. i s I For Cut Blooms b 7!, ` , El . _,, for a etaste For This flower is one of the best for cut flowers. As soon as the first bloom appears the spike should be cut. always leaving all the leaves _on the growing plant so as to build up thecorm for next year's use. If placed in a vase of water the remaining buds will continue to open and remain fresh for a week or more. The water should be changed each day and asmall piece cut off the stem daily.
